What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • What you’d like on the menu

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.

Tips for a smooth bar

  • Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
  • Tell us when the bar should open and close
  • Share taxi numbers with guests

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Can I do a taco night myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Mexican bar hire or something else?

Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Aguas frescas give them something special. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Fruit waters and tamarind.

The process

Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A late-September party in Mannings Heath loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
  5. After service, we clear the bar away.

Before we arrive

  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Mannings Heath

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?

Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.

Will you travel to a small place like Mannings Heath?

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Do you do drinks only?

You can. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.

What’s on the menu?

Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.

How much is the bar?

Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
